to sit here and watch you do the work that you do in the city of newark, which is not a garden, not a paradise, but a place of remarkable struggle -- [applause] you should be anointed for how well of a job you're doing in newark. [applause] but your mother did not tell you everything. [laughter] [applause] but your daddy was my best friend. what am about to say i had occasion to say a couple of weeks ago. i was in california celebrating the naacp image awards. what made that event, which i have attended quite often and i have been anointed with the awards along my journey, but what made this one particularly significant was that it was the first time that in the history of the naacp awards, spingarn medal of honor was being platformed. and opportunity to look at the men and women who have achieved so much in the arts, but also to take a moment and pause to look at social concerns as well as our social journey. the speech i'm about to give is one that they gave the night on television. some of you may have heard it. and for those of you who have not, i will give you the opportunity to
